Add support for JakartaEE 9

[tech-consortium]

Publish a version of Atomikos that supports JakartaEE 9 to Maven Central repository.

Thanks, it is on our backlog. But do you have any suggestions on how to implement it? As a breaking 6.0 release perhaps?

[hazendaz]

@GuyPardon That is how many repos are supporting jakarta. Unfortunately its a hard break that cannot be avoided.

• You might want to provide Jakarta variants via Gradle's build features like https://github.com/ehcache/ehcache3/releases/tag/v3.10.0 , while maintaining compatibility with the javax namespace.

• But this workload is really huge, refer to Any plans to offer a Jakarta version? ehcache/ehcache3#2946 , which almost took their community half a year.

Spring Boot 3.0 is released now, hope Atomikos supports it soon.

[tech-consortium]

@njhuan Seems Spring Boot 3.0 has removed support for Atomikos. See spring-projects/spring-boot#28589

@GuyPardon

It is possible to release a Jakarta 9 version of your dependencies by using the transformer-maven-plugin from Eclipse. We are running Atomikos on Jakarta 9 by transforming the transactions-jta and transactions-hibernate4 as shown below...

When will Atomikos be ready for Spring Boot 3?

[GuyPardon]

We are working on it, thanks. Spring Boot 3 is definitely top priority.

@GuyPardon Is there a target date to support Jakarta packaging and Spring 6? Thanks.
